Didumos, great small thing. Cute as your micro tractor and really useful)

Hrafn, thanks. It looks like a serious evolution of what i already building myself - i think it will fit perfectly. Now i just need to implement it inside my gearbox and adjust tension somehow, and it will be fully functional)

This one make my day. Or at least evening. Still smiling after watching the video)

Thanks for all your replies, nice to see that my MOC is looking cool) I hope that rainy weather will end soon and i'll test it on road and off road. If it fails with this weight distribution... at least it have teeth, and i'll learn something new)

It is not working yet, so here's nothing to share. One important thing for me is make ratchet, that rotate not by 90 degrees, but 60. Knob gears can interact with pulley wheels some ways, like 4Z and 6Z gears, but all my prototypes are not as precise, as i need.

Incredible video, thanks for making it)

Epic Technic, sad, but it doesn't fit well in my gearbox( Anyway i got some ideas, so thanks for sharing

Hmmm... I building sequential 6 speed gearbox right now. I think that manual shifter mechanism is what i need there) May i use it?

Enjoyed the video, i really like how suspension and steering works. Looking very cool)

I think that every place have it's spirit. And if Baja have one, i think it looks like this) There's so many Baja trucks, buggies and other Baja cars already built, so why i decided to build another one? I just wanted to make one thing properly - do not make rear axle within motors on it. Lighter the axle, better the suspension works. Theoretically) I used only two arms with bionicle balls to provide enough "live" for axle, and driveshaft act as another arm, preventing axle from... from rotating with wheels) Shaft bends very little when torque changing, and it really keeps the axle like here's another pair of upper arms. Notice black anti-roll bar near differential, it's really necessary here. Front suspension is independent, double wishbone, i used simplified version of my Chieftain suspension, as it proof itself as extremely robust. Center of mass is located just behind front wheels. And i placed AA battery box between front axle and radiator) Weird, but it works that way. Model is steered with servo motor, and for driving i used one geared up XL and two geared down L motors. When i ride around my kitchen table XL is enough, when i need more torque - pair of L motors come for help. I don't tryed it in rough conditions, so can't say how this car is really performs yet) Also here's few details, like two way exhaust with mufflers. Radiator with hoses and fan... One driver's seat, another is occupied by L-motor - it's obviously NOS tank, so no passenger seat) Doors and hood are openable. And teeth. Teeth - it's where all bodywork begins, and whole idea come to my mind) Belly shot, if someone need it. Ready for offroad. Now i know for what these black panels exist) As usual, all pictures are clickable for higher resolution and sligtly more of it at FLICKR. Thanks for reading, i hope you enjoy it somehow)

Wow, so "simple". Can't stop watching video)

Awesome, thanks for sharing. I spent a lot of time learning how various cv joints works some time ago, it's nice to see something new)

Sariel, thanks for put so much humor in this review) Was really nice to watch.

Jim, thanks a lot for making so detailed review with all these comparsions and videos. It looks amazing) And finally i can clearly see a parts list in nice resolution. After reading all this i know that this Porsche is must have for me, at least as parts donor.

Looks simple and cool, i like it) And that red bionicle pieces is great.

Sad, that i wasn't there... If more events is planning, i think i wish to participate)

Thanks for spending a time and make this nice review. Enjoyed reading and watching photos. And i bought this set some time ago for same reason)

Agreed. And i thinking about suspend rear axle with one spring, but also make a stabilizer bar between left and right side using simple axle as torsion. I remember how it was for me, i had 42009 only and i wish to build a truck with working suspension. I used axles as torsion bars and managed to make full independent suspesnsion, it was ugly and too heavy/fragile, but it works)

Weezer, if i was at your place, i'd go for 9398 crawler for wheels, 2 more large motors, 1 more servo and large shocks. Nothing else comes to my mind)

Hi, Andreas) Your forklift looks serious. Will be nice to see it raised to full height with some weight lifted.

Looks cool) nicjasno, why you are using small turntables as wheel hubs? less wobbly, or for more usable pin holes configuraton?

What i think about this Porsche... When i want to get just fed - i'll just buy some simple food, but when i want to eat something delicious - i'll spend 10x money more for same mass of food, and then i cook it, and then i eat it with my wife, and it is something remarkable. I just never think like "is it really worth that money?", i fulfill my wishes. Every time me and my wife buying some large LEGO sets, we doing it together, we also get some delicious and spending whole day at the kitchen unpacking, building, eating, talking and enjoying whole process... No matter how much money was spended, for what they are if not to spend?) edit: typo

Wow, it's really compact for that number of functions. Very nice MOC)

The matrix has you... Just imagine all this human-planting fields builded from lego bricks.

Awesome model, great choice of colors. Many thanks for instructions... now i just more of these wheels)
